The siwashe. Remember Their Dead.

The Indians, about 200 strong, assembled
the other day on Mckay creek, near the
county road leading to Pilot rock, to COM
memorate the death OF young Indian
named Barnhart, who had his feet frozen
off several winters ago and died from the
effects of it about this time last year. A
wigwam about hundred feet long was
crowded with the friends of the deceased,
who offered up gifts to his memory, con-
sisting Of ponies, blankets, money, cloth
ing and other valuahles. The mother OF
young Barnhart, the deceased, received
twenty ponies, large number of blankets,
some money and great quantity OF other
chattels from sympathetic friends. Others
Of the Indians were remembered by Their
friends also 1t was an imposing Spectacle

The Color of the Sun Is White.

A year ago Professor Langley, the dis
tinguished American astronomer, per-
formed an experiment in the theatre Of the
Royal institution to show that the true
color Of the sun is blue. He argued that
the atmosphere cuts off large proportion
OF the blue rays, and that if the observer
could get beyond it the sun would look
blue. Not long ago, in the same place,
Capt. Ahney, in lecture on Sunlight
Colors, - rejected this experiment, adopt
ing Professor Langley's figures with math-
ematical accuracy, but dispensing with
his paper disks, which, this lecturer held,
yltiated the result, and he showed that
the color Of the sun was not blue, but very
nearly that of the white light to be seen
at high elevations in a clear, dust free
atmosphere. Telegraph.

The Interstate Commerce Law.

The Union Pacific management has is.
sued several letters of instruc ton to its
agents in relation to the effect of the inter
state commerce bill. One directs that nc
tickets can be sold at special rates to be
used after March 31st and this direction
applies as well to tickets to be used wholly
in one state or territory as to interstate
business. Another directs that instruc-
tions in this regard are peremptory and
no inquiries in regard to them need be
made by agents. Still another is in the
following language: Under current in
struetions this department is prohibited
from issuing any free transportation or
making any special rates after March 3lst,
until our right so to do, under the inter-
state commerce law, has been fully deter
mined. All editorial time passes hereto
fore issued which run beyond that date,
will be void after March 31st by reason of
the passage of the new law since the
passes were written. All these instruc-
tons are temporary in their character, be-
ing designed to be forcible only until the
exact rights of railroads under the new
law are determined, when new instrue
tions will be issued.

The Teton on a Rampage.

Friday afternoon gorge which had
formed in the Teton some distance above
Embleton's place broke loose and the ris-
ing waters rushed madly down the stream,
covering the bottoms with water for a
long distance. The house of George Ma
jors was swept away, as was the stable
and corral of Chas. Bourassa. The water
came up around Embleton's house, the
family seeking refuge in the school house.
We have not been able to learn whether
any further damage was done.

placed in safe and secure position on St.
John street.
The gorge in front of town broke about
eight O'Clock last evening and in a short
time afterwards the river was perfectly
clear of ice. A good deal of anxiety was
relieved by the breaking of the gorge,
without damage.
Dan Dutro has taken several fine views
of the ice gorge. A copy of one taken,
showing the position of the dredge boat
this morning, has been forwarded to Capt.
Sears, the engineer officer in charge of
the upper Missouri Improvement.
We learn from Charley Lippard that the
river is entirely clear of ice as far as his
ranch and be low. The only gorge
formed was at the mouth of the Shonkin,
which caused the flooding of Morgan's
bottom. Lippard saw the ferry boat go
past his place last evening.

Poiyganay Among the Piegans.

Polygamy is still rife among the Black
feet Indians OF Montana, but is rapidly
falling into desuetude. This cause does
not arise from purely moral motives, how
ever. In former times. when buffalo were
plenty, every squaw represented certain
number of tanned buffalo hides, and the
decline of the red mans fondness for a
plurality of wives may be dated from the
beginning of the disappearance of the buff
falo.-N. 7. World.
The real reason why polygamy is fall
ing into disuse among the Indians is pow
erty and that alone. Were horses plenty
among them, as in former days, the GUS
tom would. still be in use. An Indians
Importance, in the old time, was gagged
first, by the number of wives, second by
the number of horses. Bue those days
are past and the Indian is beginning TO
realize that one wife is enough for a poor
coffee cooler.

About half past three the gorge below
the island broke and the ice moved out
rapidly and grandly, the water rising
quickly as it proceeded. At point near
ly opposite the old fort another gorge
formed, ard at this writing (4:15) is still
intact, while the water On the levee in
front of town is rapidly rising. From
any point Of view the river is cragged
sea of ice and the gorge extends to Roose-
yef8 island. Unless it breaks soon there
is likelihood that the water will rise to
such point that damage may be done to
the cellars and a few low places on Front
street. There is, however, no danger of
much of an overflow.

when the ice commenced to move, says it

nothing could stop it. He started to run
